love heart necklace


This Czech glass heart has a fuschia pink centre, matching the little pink pearls emanating away from it. These are combined with white freshwater pearls, sparkling Murano glass and crystal quartz. The wire is stainless steel for strength, covered in sterling silver for a beautiful sheen, which is then coated in transparent nylon to help prevent tarnishing - genius! There is a sterling silver clasp and extender chain, 36 - 44 cm (14 - 17 inches).

I really like the way in which Lara has combined the bold fuschia tones of the glass and pearls with the simple elegance of the fine silver choker. Because the wire is so strong, it is beautifully thin and wonderfully sophisitcated.

There is also a cute little pink freshwater pearl at the end of the solid silver extender chain - lovely!

You can find this unique necklace (and some of her other recent earrings and bracelets) online at Lara's webpage: www.larafarewell.co.uk . Like most of her designs, there is only one of these so you'd better be quick if you would like this piece!
